. NEW BISHOP IN TOWN.
Right Reverend EtheIbert Talbot
Reaches Cheyenne.
The First Point in a Proposed
Eight Months Tour.
No Decision Yet Reached Regarding
His Official Residence.

Ri. Rev. Ethelbert Talbot, the newly
appointed Episcopal bishop of Wyoming
and Idaho, arrived from Denver last
evening and will hold services in the
Episcopal church to-day. He was met at
the train by Rev. DIR. Rafter, and Thos.
B. Adams. He is at present the guest of
the latter gentleman. Rev. Talbot is a
medium sized. middle aged, smooth faced
gentleman of progressing appearance,
aud will certainly become popular in his
new position. The bishop was formerly
stationed at Macon, Mo-, and received
the appointment to the office which he
will now occupy at st. Louis last winter.
While not yet definitely settled, it is
more than probable that the bishop will
reside in Cheyenne. Bishop Talbot sue
ceeds Bishop Spalding of Denver, who
was unable to satisfactorily cover the i'm
mense territory comprising the bishop
RIGS, and who will hereafter devote his
time and attention to the church in
Colorado.
After spending a few days in Cheyenne
Bishop Talbot will proceed to Laramie,
where he will preach next Sunday. His
visitation of his diocese will occupy eight
months, until the end of which time he
will not definitely decide upon his place of
residence. Cheyenne, Laramie City and
Boise City are spoken Of.
Bishop Talbot was born in lS4S, at
Fayette, Howard county, Mo-, and is one
of a family of six. In 1870 he was grad
uated with honors from Dartmouth, N.
H., and at once entered the general theo-
logical seminary at New York City, from
which institution he was graduated in
1873.
Locating at Macon City, Mo-, he
founded the St. James military academy
for boys, and the St. Agnes Hall for
girls, both institutions now being in a
prosperous condition. Four months prior
to his election to the responsible office
which he now holds he came within a few
votes of being elected bishop of the state
of Missouri. He is the youngest bishop
in the United States.

OLD BEN HOLIDAY.
The Famous Stage Owner Now
Dying in Oregon.
A Man We'll Known in Western
Pioneer Circles.
How His Nose Was Once Scratched
With a Gun Barrel.

PORTLAND, Ore, July S.-Ben HOlli-
day, Of pony express and overland stage
fame is dying at St. Nincent's hospital in
this city of paralysis. 1t is thought he
will die before midnight. His age is 6S.
His wife and children from the East are
with him.
The above will be sad news indeed to
many an old timer in this section. What
frotiersman, hunter, trapper or early set
tier does not remember, and with pleas
ure, the big, hearted, generous and brave
word as fail, the man who carried thousands
Upon thousands of dollars worth of valu-
ables over his pony express line from st.
Joseph, Mo, to San Francisco, when a
trip was considered very successful if only
one or two men and ten or twelve horses
we're killed. The stories told of the stage
magnate are numerous and entertaining,
sometimes sad but more frequently very
humorous. In the good old days when
railroads were unknown and Indians
plenty and not over friendly, Holiday
frequently extended favors to his friends
in the way of free transportation over
one or more of his many lines. Printed
matter was scarce, and passes had not yet
come into common use, yet a little thing
like a lack of printed matter didn't dis
courage old Ben. On the hat of each
passenger whom he wished to travel free
of charge he placed a cabalistic chalk
mark which was as incomprehensible as it
was impossible to initiate, but every per-
son who wore a hat thus branded could
always ride in the choicest seats of Holli-
days coaches. This habit of the pio-
neer's was the origin of the once famous
slang phrase, Chalk your hat"
Ben Holiday used to enjoy telling
the story Of one of his adventures, " said
Luke Voorhees, Yesterday. Along about
'63 Ben and his wife were together max
ing the trip IN a special coach from Cali
fornia. They had about SAC, 600 in gold
of their own money hidden in the coach.
Out here at Rock Greek the coach was
held up by two stage robbers. Ben was
invited to step out and ordered to hold
up his hands. Of course he did so. Ben
wore a big heavy moustache, and some of
the obstreperous hairs crawling up the
side of his nose tickled him so that he
vas soon in fortunes.
MY God, said Ben with his hands
above his head, won't you let me scratch
my noso?'
Keep your hands in the air, said
one Of the stage robbers, Significantly
glancing along his double barrelled shot
gun which had both hammers raised. IF
you want your nose scratched so -
bad Ill scratch it for you! With that
he showed the shotgun under Ben's
nose and rubbed it so vigorously that the
tickle soon disappeared. The robbers
did not get Ben's big lot Of gold but
they took his watch and whatever, money
Ben and his wife carried about them

HE DOESN'T OBJECT.
What Father smith Says About the APP
pointment of a wyoming Bishop.

The Rev. Father Smith was inter
viewed by a LEADER representative yes
terday concerning the article which APP
peared in the Sun alleging that a gentle
man who is well informed upon church
matters had said that the priest sta
toned here did not wish to see Wyoming
made a separate diocese.
You may say for me- remarked
Father Smith, that if l did object to
the forming OF a new diocese, which is
certainly not the case, my opposition
would amount to nothing whatever, as |
have no voice in the matter. My reasons
for d~iscrediting the Associated Press tele-
gram were valid and plausible, In the
first place the name mentioned in the
dispatch does not appear in the official
church directory for 1887, which contains
a correct list Of all priests, bishops, arch
bishops and cardinals in the United
States, and then again Rome news, and
especially church news, is difficult for out
siders to obtain, and unauthenticated re
ports often reach this country. 1t has
not been over six months since the Asso-
GATED Press appointed a bishop for the
diocese OF Lincoln, Neb., but the person
of the dignltary failed to materialize.
Now the assertion that Bishop O'Con-
nor induced the Sisters of Mercy to
locate in Omaha" continued the reverend
father, lis absurd on the face of it, for
the Sisters we're well established in that
city long before Bishop O'Connor came
west. What he did do was to promise
the Sisters of the Sacred Heart that if they
would locate their 500, 600 con-
vent in Omaha he would allow no similar
institution in his diocese to receive board
ing pupils until that institution was on q
sound financial basis. This promise has
been kept. AS for the reticence of his
holiness about infringing in diocese mat
tiers, no one acquainted with church laws
and regulations would make such an as.
sertion. The pope is supreme, and it is
his prerogative, nay, even his duty, to
o~fficiate and act with authority in all dis
putes or cases of alleged injustice.
Whether the two Sisters from Philadel
phia visited Rome last winter | know
not, but can say hat it had been official.

of Wyoming"

JOINS THE CIRCUS
Martha GrOeber Leaves Her Denver
Home to Become a Ring Star.

Mr.. Henry Groeber arrived from Den
yer last evening and upon leaving the
train, at once proceeded to the circus
grounds, accompanied by a reporter whose
acquaintance he had made in Colorado's
capital a few years ago. While walking
toward the tents Mr.. Groeber told the
writer that his 16 year old daughter
Martha had mysteriously disappeared
from home on the night of July 4, and
that he had reason to believe that she
had Joined Robinson's circus in the capa-
city of an Indian club swinger, as she was
an adept at that branch of athletics and
had often expressed a desire to travel with
some combination. After a search of an
hour about the grounds the father caught
sight of his daughter and shouted to her,
but the young lady evidently preferred to
be excused from the anticipated interview,
as she turned and ran toward the main
tent. The father pursued and soon over
took her, when the hayward daughter
appealed to a couple OF circus %roustabouts
for protection from that man." as she
called him. Mr.. Groeber was now thor-
oughly angered and very much excited,
and as a grimy looking tent raiser APP
preached him, drew his revolver and or
dered the man and his companions to
leave, which they promptly did. The
Denver man then talked to his daughter
as only a father can, appealing to her
better nature and natural love of home,
and in a few minutes she was weeping
bitterly and had promised to return
home, which she will probably do this
morning.
Miss Groeber is a remarkably hand
some young lady of magnificent physique,
and would eventually become a brilliant
star in the sawdust World. The father
stated that his child was not naturally
vicious, but had been enticed from home
by promises Of immense salary and an
easy life. As the reporter remembers the
lady she was a timid and handsome miss
of II, who was very obedient and prim.

Fully 10000 people visited Jno. Rob
inson's tent shows yesterday. Taken as a
whole the exhibitions were far above the
average. The tumblers and trapeze per-
formers were first class artists. The Jug
glers are good and gave an entertaining
exhibition. The bicycle riders are second
TO none in the country, while the bare.
back riders and bounding jockeys per
formed many difficult and dangerous feats.
The menagerie is a rather poor collection,
the only redceming features being a pair
Of magnificent lions and a beautifully
marked leopard. The concerts following
the exhibitions were passable entertain
ments. A boxing contest between two
circus attaches was exciting and scientific.

The Missing Articles.

The Haas safe robbery is still as great a
mystery as ever. A closer examination
has developed the fact that besides many
valuable papers, the following articles of
jewelry were stolen: Fob chain with
charm, hair chain with key, a lady's gold
chain, lady's pin with name inscribed,
lady's necklace, child's necklace with
name inscribed, a pair of gentleman's
sleeve buttons, amethyst ring, plain gold
ring, gold horseshoe scarf pin, child's
cameo earrings, lady's earrings set with
pearls.

Probably stole a Watch.

A bootblack who gave the name of
Palmer Maxwell Cady, and said that he
had relatives in Little Rock, Ark, and
st. Louis, Mo, was lodged in jail yester-
day afternoon, charged with the theft of
a watch and chain from the lunch counter
neal the corner of Fifteenth street and
Capitol avenue. 1t appears that the
youngster entered the place and asked
for something to eat, and when the man
in charge of the establishment retired to
a back room and returned with the food
the boy had disappeared, as had also a
watch and chain which had been hanging
on the wall. The suspected youth was
captured and searched at the circus
grounds half an hour later, but either had
not stolen the watch or had disposed of it.
Though evidently not over IA years Of
age the boy took the matter quite cody,
and marched into Jail like Il veteran, first
inquiring whether the penalty for vagran-
cy here was thirty or sixty days, at the
same time maintaining that he was en-
tirely innocent.

The continued absence of j. w. Whit
more, the young bank clerk, has excited
a good deal of and specula-
ton among his friends :and ~acquaint-
ances about the city. The gentleman
was last seen in Denver on the 5th
inst, and at that time had in his pos
session a return ticket to Cheyenne. As
he has not been heard of since it is quite
naturally supposed hat he has either met
with some mishap or left the country.
Popular opinion favors the latter theory,
as Whitmore is conceded to be fully
capable Of taking care of himself. His
counts at the bank are all straight,
for they couldn't very well be otherwise,
but it is reported that in other quarters
things were not left in such a glorious
condition.

The large elephant with the enormous
tusks, which was one of the leading fea-
lures Of the circus, went on the warpath
after the entertainment last night and did
considerable damage before being loaded.
Fortunately no one was killed, though
three men were pretty badly bruised before
the brute was corralled.

OF course everyone expected that a
large number of residences would be en-
tered and burglarized yesterday by the
gang of sneak thieves that follow in the
wake Of a circus as a carrion crow hovers
over the carcass OF a dead or dying steer.
The first instance brought to the
notice of the city police force
was the robbery of Judge w. f. Lees
residence on East Sixteenth street yester-
day fore noon while the occupants were
viewing the circus parade. Uncle Billy"
avs that in repairing a pump on his
premises he had occasion to use a heavy
hammer and cold chisel, which imple-
ments were left in a storm door, and when
the depredators entered the house they
simply used the owners tools and broke
in The loss consists of three watches,
one a Waterbury, and the other two quite
valuable silver timepieces. Unnecessary
to say, the thieves are still at large, as 1t
is almost impossible to capture this class

ate extent. Average listeners think almost
wholly of what they shall say themselves,
caring to hear only SO much as will admi
of reply, and, instead of waiting to re-
ceive the full sense of the words addressed
to them, they lay hold on the first possible
opportunity for interruption, and similarly
are interrupted themselves in turn; thus
conversation is married. distorted and per-
verted, and misconceptions and miSinter-
pretations are its too frequent results. The
true art of conversation is well said to con-
sist less in self-dIsplay than in the drawing
out of others; people in general desire to
please and to be considered agreeable rather
than be overwhelmed with or to admire the
talents of another.
Assume virtue if you have it not, +"
might be socially transcribed. Assume an
interest if you have it not" which at first
glance sounds hypocritical, but looked at
closer we have to admit with George Eliot
that ga little unprecedented insncerity
must be INDUCED under the stress of social
intercourse. The talk even of an honest
man must represent merely his wish to be
inoffensive or agreeable rather than his
genuine opinions or feeling on the matter
in hand" In the same way one should be
positive or dogmatic in Socety-''Speak,
though sure, with seeming dlffidence;" it is
no excuse to prove that you were in the
right; only so much the worse for your adj
versary's feelings toward you Persuasion
also is more powerful agent than aggreS-
siye assertion. and persons who pique them
selves on calling spade a spade are not
often the pleasantest members of society.

Little Women.
Cassell Family Magazine.

The seven-year-old daughter of very
busy mother who. in consequence of her
husbands early death, was obliged to carry
on his business, was asked one day by
friend what she was able to do in the way
of help.
Il can only pray to God and then hem
the busters, was the child's reply, in all
seriousness, but it showed that she had
learned to do the duty that lay nearest her,
and as years went on she developed into the
steady, reliable. cheerful girl to whom the
whole household looked for help, and
seldom, if ever, looked in vain.
Very pleasant are the hours spent by our
little Mary in the kitchen. still under
mothers" wing or that CT some trusty
and reliable servant. How she enjoys pick
ing the bits of stem from among the cur
rants, stoning the raisins, buttering the
cake tins and cutting any spare dough or
paste that may be over, when the pies
are made, into rounds with the top of a
wine glass! And what browning joy it is
when she is allowed to have whole
goOSeberry or a tiny apple to make into a
dumping for her own dinner or nursery
feast! And what an important parsonage
she is when Oh busy days she may even
be trusted with washing up the breakfast
things.
If all little girls were allowed these early
visits to the kitchen, with real particlpa-
ton in its work, the world would not hear
so much about undomesticated wives and
housekeepers. who can not teach theiI
servants what they have never learned
themselves.

pher can solve. But this same fact remains.
the pills are very often engaged and mar
ried while the bellies are left behind. This
is perhaps because the pills are less ambl-
tious. They do not look for Cr9sus, but
take the first worthy swain who comes
along, marry comfortably, live happily,
and end their days in peace and plenty,
like the good princess in the fairy tales
The third class of society girls and the
most desirable, it seems to an unprecedented
observer, is the middle class. which is
neither belle nor wallhower. The favorite
goes everywhere. She is no beauty, but a
pretty, good-natured. easy-going creature,
popular with everybody. She dances quite
as often as is good for her, is never without
a partner for the german, and is in constant
demand for festivities of all kind. Her eX-
istence is a jolly one, and when, after two
or three seasons, she marTies, a host of good
wishes go with her, and her husband feels
that the treasure he has gained is treasure
indeed.
The bud falls readily enough into one of
these classes. Every mother, Of course,
prefers that her daughter should become a
belle, and breads lest she join tine fateful
list of wallfiowers. But Miss Debutante
herself has no fears on the subject. She
feels perfect confidence in herself and her
destinations, and even now, while the
Christmas chimes are still ringing in the
air and Christmas greens bedeck the win
dowS in fashionable streets. she is being
laced tightly into her low bodice, preparing
to take society by storm.
Blessed be the budl
